Six months ago my partner received a series of scans due to back pain.  We were asked to attend the liver clinic who advised us he had lung cancer which had spread to his liver.  They explained that he was at stage 4 and that he was being referred to the lung clinic.  He had a temporary contract in his job and was about to sign for permanent.  He was advise to go off sick and has since lost the job.  Since May this year he had 2 biopsies on the lymph nodes in his chest which where negative, two liver biopsies which again where negative {inconclusive) and a lung biopsy which is inconclusive. Also a series of MRI's, CT's and pet scans.  They have now advised us that they do not know whether it is cancer although the lung is showing as a hotspot on a scan and that they will scan again in January to see if there are any changes.  I know this is great news but i cant believe we have been through all this being advised he was terminal without the cell evidence to prove this.  We cannot get travel insurance or can he obtain permanent work due to him being under medical investigation.  Has anyone been through this???
